First week back from vacation was crazy busy with work and life. It was stressful and each night I passed out before 9:30 pm. For the month of August, I read/listened to eight books but with vacation I am not surprised. I spent the weekend catching up on reviews and I worked. I did join threads and changed my Instagram name to @caffeinatedreviewer. Stay Caffeinated.

    I’ve found on vacation I either read a ton or hardly at all. There doesn’t seem to be an in between! I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed your vacation and hopefully you’ll get caught up with everything. All those little tasks seem to multiply when I’m out of town. Have a great week!

    Coming back to real life after vacation can be tough! I don’t get much reading done if I’m on vacation with my kids and grandkids. Too much shenanigans! I just got back from Texas with them and yeah, not much reading. Hope things settle down for you. 🙂

    It is good that you got to enjoy your vacation and didn’t feel pressured to read.
    It does seem to be a push to get caught up after vacation. {Sigh} I have learned to add two days (at least) at the end of the vacay to get settled back in.
    Both of your new books look enjoyable. Happy Reading!

    I have often found that a vacation after a vacation is necessary. Have a great week. 🙂

    Sounds like a busy and tiring week now that you got back form vacation. Hopefully next week is a bit calmer.

  21. Jessica @ a GREAT read

    Ah! My comment didn’t post for some reason! Now what on earth did I say?!

    Glad to hear you had a nice vacation and got caught up on reading! That’s always nice! It’s always rough getting back to work after being off. I know I sometimes will pop on my laptop the night before just to sift through all the emails I get. Mostly to weed through ones that don’t apply to me as our team as a group inbox where we communicate with vendors and such. So after I weed through all the other emails I’m left with a much more manageable amount to deal with the next morning! Lol.

    Nice new reads! I am excited for this particular novel of Blake’s as I still love vampire novels! This one sounds exciting and even though I haven’t read the one Blake book I have, I totally plan to pick this one up too! The other one is new to me but I am loving that cover! I know it’s the audio book version but it looks amazing! I hope you enjoy your new reads!

    Hope you have a great week ahead!

    I hope you had a lovely vacation. Hopefully a less stressful week next week?! I can only dream of falling asleep at that time. My newborn is unfortunately nocturnal! He is now 4 weeks old so maybe he will sort out his sleeping pattern soon?! My other son was a pretty good sleeper as long as we gave him formula before bed!!

    Hope your next week is a little more relaxing, but yay for all the reading! How’s Threads? I wish I could join, but they haven’t rolled it out in the EU (and probably won’t, at least for a while, because of data protection laws), so I have FOMO seeing all the book bloggers join haha.

    Coming back from holiday is always rough. I hope you have a great week 🙂

    I had a great week, with some outings and time with family. I also actually read three books, which is almost back to my old pattern.

    I have joined Threads too, I am hoping they at the computer feature soon. I always have to remind myself to go to my phone to post :).

    I am glad you had a nice vacation and catching up after isn’t easy. You get back to reading/listening before you know it.

    Have a great week.

    The week after vacation is so hectic sometimes. I always think gee, I finally got to relax, and now I have to run ragged again. Hope you’re having a good weekend…

    Masters of death has quite the cover!
